Friday Night Fights: Maxim - Round 6: Get Your Hands Off My Woman!
Tonight on Friday Night Fights: Maxim, I'm going back to 1996 for Fantastic Four#412, written by Tom DeFalco and illustrated by Paul Ryan (no relation to the zombie-eyed granny-starver) and Danny Bulanadi.
Synopsis: Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic has just returned to the group after a period of being presumed dead. He's still a little off his game in the decision-making department at this point, so needless to say Namor, who has been working with the FF in Reed's absence, picks this moment to make a completely inappropriate move on Sue (who's just recovering from an attack by a temporarily-deranged Black Bolt).
(And no, your eyes aren't deceiving you, dear readers. That is Namor wearing a ponytail, while Reed is indeed sporting the Barry Gibb look. The 90's, ladies and gentlemen!)
Suffice it to say, Reed walks in on this...
Chalk up another debit to "Baxter Building Window Repair Expense" on this month's financials.
Tonight's fight music is by The Darkness (no relation to Jackie Estacado).

Is that supposed to be SHADING on Namor, or did he grow fur or get a really uneven tan in the '90s?
All the Caucasian characters in the book had that shading to some degree (see Sue in these scans), but it's more noticeable on Namor because he's the most scantily-clad.
That is one lovingly rendered behind on Namor. Susan...you're a fool!
If memory serves, John Byrne was doing zip-a-tone (or summat) shading in the Namor book, so maybe they were trying for that effect? Whatever the case, it looks painful.

In fairness, Sally, Reed's nicknames include "Mr. Fantastic" and "Stretcho". Draw your own conclusions.
That's very true, Face...except that he was usually working on some giant machine or droning on about the Phantom Zone, or whatever. Namor at least pays attention. And all the shrimp you can eat!
